Desktop: Managing the Client List

There are several ways to change the way the Client List displays in TaxSlayer Pro.

Customize which columns to display

Not all columns need to be displayed in the Client List. To select which columns you want to be displayed on the Client List, from the Quick Menu of TaxSlayer Pro select:

  • Configuration
  • Advanced Configuration
  • Display Settings
  • Edit Client's 1040 List
  • Select Columns To Display On Client List - Check or uncheck the box(es) next to items you wish to show or hide in the Client List. When done, click Ok.

Customize the left-to-right order of the columns

You can arrange the order of the columns in the Client List. To do this, click and hold the column header and drag the column header left or right to the preferred location in the list.

Note: If after dragging the column it disappears entirely, look for it on the right-hand side of the list.

Make the Client List window larger

After installing the program, by default the Client List shows at a "medium" size, neither the largest nor smallest size possible. On smaller monitors, especially on laptops, this can may cause the Quick Menu entry field to be hidden as well as make it more difficult to scroll through the list to find a return.

To make the Client List larger, from the Quick Menu of TaxSlayer Pro select:

  • Configuration
  • Advanced Configuration
  • Display Settings
  • Edit Main Menu Size - Select and choose "Large".

Hide the Client List when starting a new return

If you prefer the Client List to be hidden, from the Quick Menu of TaxSlayer Pro select:

  • Configuration
  • Advanced Configuration
  • Display Settings
  • Edit Client's 1040 List
  • Start Return Using Client List - Change to NO

From this point on, each time you select Tax Returns in the Quick Menu you will be prompted to either enter the Taxpayer’s SSN or press Enter by itself to display the Client List.

Don't show the Client List along with the Quick Menu

To show only the Quick Menu, from the Quick Menu select:

  • Configuration
  • Advanced Configuration (Macros)
  • Display Settings
  • Display Client List on Main Menu - Change to NO
